The Libre Livre team visited the Wayzgoose Printing Fair in Witney this weekend. An excellent fair it was too: there were stalls selling type, equipment, books, examples of fine printing and more. Two presses were set up for demonstrations, by the British Printing Society and the Oxford Guild of Printers respectively (see the links on the right for both).
The fair is held every other year, with the Oxford Fine Press Book Fair in the alternate years.
Unfortunately some ink I bought got sold twice, which gave me an excuse to visit John and Louisa Hare, of the Evergreen Press ("site on the right") at their new premises near Chipping Norton. John has specialised in letterpress printing for many years and showed me some examples of his work as well as selling me a rainbow of letterpress inks ranging from lime green to purple
